Tarot Meaning: Seven of Cups

Seven tempting visions in the clouds — but only one of them is real.

Minor ArcanaCups

Upright Meaning

A figure faces seven cups filled with tempting visions — a castle, jewels, a shadowy figure — floating in clouds. This card marks a moment of many choices, some of which are more illusion than substance.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean clarity finally cutting through fantasy, or making a choice at last after too long spent daydreaming.
